New event for Pearl monopoly

[MattyG]

Ahmed's idea here for events related to the pearl industry in the Gulf of Arabia, with coding etc by yours truly.

Comments please.

For the first set of negative events I don't think the trigger should be "NOT = { flag = pearls }" because then the events would never fire. They are slept if you decline the pearl flag, but they are triggered only if you do not have the pearl flag.

Precisely.

They are to reduce the tax value of that province, because it has be conquered by another country, hence the NOT = { flag = pearls } to ensure the event doesn't fire for the country which established the monopoly.

 

[Don_Quigleone]

hang on is the reason for the replications of the event just so multiple nations can do it, why not have it simply that it trigger once and then conquering nations are iven the option to continue or discontinue the levy?

 

[MattyG]

In this case the levy is predicated on having a monopoly on production by controlling all the pearl producing regions.

 

[Don_Quigleone]

hmmm well if it works it works! But maybe greater penalties or benifits should result from it in the long run, a cot or something, +1 base tax value isn't that great...

 

[MattyG]

But +3 overall.

A COT?!!!! :rofl:

Sorry, that's a bit much.

If you think it isn't worth it, then when you conquer those regions, chose action_b

 

[Don_Quigleone]

well a cot is abit much... maybe if you go for the monopoly it should go bust later, I was thinking of editing my comment to take out the cot bit...

Edit: or maybe not going for it should loosen the economy giving bonus explorers or something later on... although maybe less is more
